I just recently rebuilt a 74' 2.0 and replaced the stock cam with a Web Cam. The heads of the bolts that came with the cam were machined down to clear the oil pump. I also sen the old cam gear to Web Cam and they countersunk the bolt holes where the cam mounts to the gear. They did a great job. Their phone number is 909-369-5144.
I rebuilt a 72' 1.7 when i was 15 and finished it when i was 16 and drove it for 5 years. I know exactly how anxious your son is. My dad also helped me. Now i'm 21 with a 74' 2.0 that i rebuilt on my own. The 914 is a great learning car.
